There are flatheads and blues in the lower Etowah River below Allatoona Dam. The Thompson-Wienman (sp?) low head dam (don't know if it is private property or not) is a couple miles downstream from there and is impassable by boat (you really need a jet boat on this river anyway). The lower Etowah goes about 50 mi. from Cartersville to Rome where it joins the Oostanaula to form the Coosa River. I think the website www.gofishgeorgia.com has info on almost all major rivers and lakes in the State.
